description of all that had taken place.
She would give q full account OF every
thing, repeating, verbatim tho pas pas

appeared to have two memories oneiot
the waking state and another Tor the
mysterious sleep.
A sad thing has been related OF .
young clergyman, who was accidental
" shot in the forehead by a friend just
two days before his marriage was to
have taken place. For a long time hi'
life was despaired of. He recovered
but his mind was impaired. His mem.
ory retained nothing but the, idea OF
his approaching marriage. Every
thing was absorbed in that n recoa-
lection; his whole conversation related
to the preparations. He would never
speak on any other subject. 1t was al
within two days of the wedding.
Years and years went on. Youth
away, and still in two days
more his wedding would take place,
and in this condition he reached his
year and sank into the grave
with that one idea alone in his mind

THE MOlE'S STRENGTH.
A Little Creature Whose Physical AttFt.
butes Are Simply Marvellous.

A Little Creature Whose Physical Attrt.
butes Are Simply Marvellous.
Compared with some of his ''poor
relations" mar makes but an indiffer-
ent show in matters of strength and
agility. He can not fly with the bird.
nor run with the deer. nor climb with
the monkey, nor leap with the frog,
nor swim with the fish. In fact, there
is, perhaps. no single physical attri-
butte in which he is not excelled BY one
or more of these humble specialists.
Take. for example, Dr.. c. H. Merriam's
account Of the common mole:
The strength of the shrcw mole is
simply prodigious, for an animal of its
diminutive size, and the speed with
which it forces itself through the
ground is marvellous. Audubon and
Bachman. speaking Of mi they had in
confinement, state: I'VE put the mole
into a large wire rat-trap, and to our
surprise saw him insert his fore-paws.
or hands, between the wires. and force
them apart sufficiently to give him
room to pass out through them at once,
and this without any great apparent
effort"
DR.. Goldman also tells us that one
which he had ''in a basket on the
mantlepiece of a parlor made its es.
cape, and fell to the hearth; appar-
emily it sustained little injury. but
hurried on until it reached the wall,
where it began to travel around the
room. Whenever its course was inn
peded by the feet of the chairs, which
were Of large size, it would not 60
round them, but, wedging itself be-
tween them and the wall. pushed them
with apparent case far enough to OBJ.
tain a free passage. and 1t thus cor.
tinued to move several in succession.
What was more astonishing, it passed
in a similar manner behind the legs Of
a small mahogany breakfast table,
and pushed 1t aside in the same way,
finally hiding behind a pile of quarto
volumes, more than two feet high,
which, also, 1t moved out from the
WALL"
Now ! have made a pile, just two
feet hi gh, of quarto volumes, and find
that to move it on q smooth, painted
floor requires a force Of eighteen
pounds (avoirdupois), and on a car
pet, OF Twenty-Five pounds. In order
to display a degree of strength, pro-
portionate to the difference in the
weight Of the two a man would have
to exert a push pressure Of twelve
thousand pounds. -Youth's Compan.

4 DARING CLIMBER.
Death Of Q Man who Msds . Lvtag -
Mounting steeples.

Mounting stespies.
One Of the noted characters Of Gin.
cinnati, the '.steeple climber" died
not long ago at his home. 70 Bank
street. His name was Joseph
Rodriguez Weston. and for nearly
thirty years he has been climbing
steeples in this city. No point was to
high and dizzy for him to reach and
maintain his steady foothold. OF late
wears he would undertake only those
difficult feats that appalled, others. 1t
was his pardonable boast that he
could 90 as high or higher than any
other a There are many stories OF
his hazardous exploits in this city. The
most notable. probably. was the drap.
ing Of the cathedral spire On the night
following Archbishop Purcelrs death.
On the ground below were three or
four thousand people eagerly watch.
ing for a glance at the daring man as
the lightning flashes revealed him on
the dizzy height.
Weston, when only twelve years Of
age, had placed the tip on the same
steeple. Another feat that was great.
ly talked about at the time was on the
night of July 8. 1876. Weston climbed
the spire Of the Presbyterian Church
on Fourth street, the tallest in the city.
and nailed the Stars and Stripes.
285 feet from the ground.
It was on this occasion that he had a
narrow escape. Weston had obtained
from Niche, the jeweler, a heavy gold
chain, the links of which were all
solid. His chain, when he was fall
ing, held him for a brief moment dur
ing which the climber succeeded in re-
gaining his hold. Another time, while
Weston was removing the timbers
from the steeple of St. Xavier, which
had been burned, he was struck by a
falling rock on the head and slightly
hurt. Weston had a horror of going
beneath the surface of the earth, and
would never descend into o cellar Or
cistern.
Weston's father was named Rod
riguez, a Spaniard, who died soon
after his sons birth. His widow after
ward married q nan named Weston,
which name the boy adopted. Young
Weston's stepfather taught him to climb
At an early age, and as he advanced
in years his many difficult performs
ances gave him a widespread reputa-
ton. He was forty-one years Of age
when he died. His on. now only
twelve years old, already bids fair to
equal his father in erial exploits

TOMMY AND NE.

IN the days Of our fun and our folly,
On the playground l met Tommy Leo;
thought he was lawfully jolly"
And Tommy thought just SO Of me.
We were happy as kids in the clover
Together the long summer through,
And with tears when vacation was over,
AT parting we swore to be true.
Oh! the swallow flies back to its mate,
And the sailor comes home DER the sea;
Nor waiting nor doubt could ever wear out
The love between Tommy and me.
Again, In the town, one December,
We met; he was turning sixteen;
And my hero l scarce could remember
IN the STRIPPING so bashful and green
Our greeting was cool as the weather;
Not a single old charm could I see;
Though him too fresh altogether"
And Tommy thought just so Of me.
Oh! the swallow flies back 10 Its mate,
And the sailor comes home DER the sea;
But the dew in the noon never vanished SO
soon
As the love dream Of Tommy ana me.
Once again, at a quiet %tea-party-
was twenty. and he twenty-five
Tommy Lee and l met. He was hearty,
And l was-well, what could l dor
We supposed our acquaintance had ended,
But now-I olushed red as could b.,
For l thought the young man was "just
Splendid"
And Tommy thought just so Of me.
Oh! the swallow flies back to its mate,
And the sailor comes home DER the sea,
And the stars in the blue are not half so true
AS the love between Tommy and me.
